Carrier Access Corp. announces field trial

BOULDER, Colo.-Carrier Access Corp. and Nera Telecommunications announced the field trial of a new wireless broadband network at TechTel, a competitive local exchange carrier in Lubbock, Texas.

The trial will use Carrier Access’ Access Navigator/GR-303+Data Host to groom the integrated data and voice traffic from Nera’s Velocity 2000 wireless local loop product at customer locations and provide concentration of the voice traffic into GR-303 interface groups.

“We are excited about the potential this combined solution offers our customers for voice and data communications,” said Joel Hohenberger, vice president of network operations at TechTel. “This field trial is the first of its kind showing a new generation of high speed wireless access solutions designed for companies that want to build their own wireless broadband telecommunications networks.”
